Basement Waterproofing, Concrete Lifting & Foundation Repair in Worth County, IA

Lee O. in Northwood, IA noticed that after the winter, his driveway has sunk about two inches from the lip of his garage. It was becoming a trip hazard and it frustrated him every time he shoveled the driveway in the winter because the shovel kept getting caught on the uneven concrete. He wanted to find an effective and affordable way to repair his driveway instead of having to replace it. He saw a commercial for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution. He contacted us, and we sent a Design Specialist to his home to provide him with a FREE estimate. Lee was pleased to learn that PolyLevel is more affordable, non-invasive, and efficient than traditional concrete repair.

Our PolyLevel expert drilled penny-sized holes into multiple spots of the driveway where the foam would be injected. He injected the PolyLevel foam until the concrete was leveled and raised to the appropriate height. Once the foam is injected, it takes about 30 minutes to cure, so Lee was able to see the transformation almost immediately. The entire process took a couple of hours. Lee is glad he chose American Waterworks and now he can enjoy a raised and level driveway for years to come!

The following week, Brad traveled to the home and began the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Brad confirmed the front walkway and driveway apron were sinking due to settlement. To prevent the sinking from worsening, Brad proposed a solution that would repair the issue. First, Brad recommended installing PolyLevel below the sinking slabs. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserted ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. With this solution, the damaged concrete would be properly repaired and secured for years to come. If you are in need of concrete repair, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Northwood, IA, noticed their slight cracks growing along their foundation. Uncertain of the source, the homeowner knew they needed to have a professional provide them with a solution.  The homeowner searched “foundation repair near Northwood, IA”, and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dylan. On the day of the appointment, Dylan arrived at the home to begin the estimate. Dylan confirmed the cracked walls were early signs of foundation stabilization issues. To prevent this issue from worsening, Dylan suggested securing CarbonArmor on the damaged walls. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Dylan to find the best installation date.  When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, the crew started by prepping the north wall for the installation. Next, the crew went ahead and attached 7 CarbonArmor strips to the damaged wall.   CarbonArmor is a wall reinforcing system that is a state-of-the-art solution used to fix cracked and bowing foundation walls. CarbonArmor strips utilize epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls that are cracked or bowed. To install the CarbonArmor strips, the crew begins by cleaning the wall to ensure good adhesion. Then, the technician masks off each carbon fiber strip location and saturates the masonry with epoxy. The CarbonArmor reinforcement becomes part of the wall structure. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their foundation was properly stabilized.
